Bentgrass Seed
Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) is a cool-season grass best known for its fine texture and tolerance of low mowing heights. It has a prostrate growth habit and produces vigorously spreading stolons, which enable it to withstand close mowing and recover quickly from damage.
Tremendous advancements in creeping bentgrass breeding have led to the release of many new and improved varieties. These newer varieties offer benefits such as improved heat tolerance, increased disease resistance, and a more upright growth habit, resulting in a tighter, denser turf that enhances playability and ball roll.
Because of these characteristics, creeping bentgrass is the primary cool-season grass used for high-quality golf greens in temperate regions around the world. In addition, it provides an excellent turf for golf course fairways and tees when mowed at 1/4 inch.
Spectrum Creeping Bentgrass
Spectrum (LNS 19) is the latest generation creeping bentgrasses being developed at Rutgers University. Spectrum is the leading choice for golf courses that demand the highest turf quality and greatest resistance against a range of stresses. This variety is at the top of its class for Dollar Spot resistance, spring green up, traffic and wear tolerance in addition to overall turf quality. Optimal shoot density, pleasing bright green color and an upright growth habit make Spectrum the perfect choice for INTERSEEDING into older vareiteis.

Colonial Bentgrass
Colonial Bentgrass, Agrostis capillaris, is a stoloniferous, fine-textured and low-growing grass. It is typically used for turf and reclamation, especially in areas of poor drainage. This perennial turfgrass is native to Europe and is utilized in cool-humid regions of the Pacific Northwest and Northeast. Colonial Bentgrass blends well with Fine Fescues and is slow to establish.
